file-size can also monitor directories

[HaWit]

Hello, in your plugin check file-size is also the talk that I can also monitor the size of a directory. File (or directory) name to check.
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. What would the syntax look like, or the plugin can't monitor a directory size.

Hm - 'File (or directory) name to check' within the help text of the plugin is obviously wrong. We ignore directories for now, because the size of a directory is not defined consistently across file systems, and never the size of the contents. We need to fix this (update the help text, or implement a better way of checking directory sizes).

okay, too bad.
My problem is that I have a few directories on a file server that shouldn't exceed a certain size. If the contents of the directory are a size x, an alarm should go off. It would be cool if you could implement that.
Still, thanks for the quick response

Yes, would be a nice feature.
